The managers of the G. G. G. and directors of
the various charitable associations find that the
supply of east off clothing is very scanty for the
demands of the season. To help in this emergen-
cy the ladies of the workroom have employed their
sewing women and their money in making COM
Portable clothing for boys and girls, which they
are ready to sell less than cost. They could not
do this except for the hope of receiving donations
as in years past 10 carry on their work. They in
tend keeping large stock on hand during the
winter at Room Is, City Building, OF trousers,
dresses, skirts and underwear 3es te
Parents who wish for garments for their chill
dren will find them of better material and better
work than the cheap clothing, at the stores.
The ladies ask the benevolent people, espec-
tally TO consider how much more good they win do
by buying these garments for the poor than by
giving money for either societies or individuals to
expend.
Win not kind hearted citizens come forward
and buy out the whole stock on hand, and place
the articles n the hands of the c. G. @. for dstri
button that once the motherly ladies who see the
suffering and nakedness, as others do not, may
enjoy seeing the boys and girls thoroughly

THE MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION,
DoIngs Of Its Members at the ses-
sions of YESTERDAY.

Yesterdays session of the Portland District Min
isterial Association began at nine o'clock. Prayer
was offered by Rev. Mr.. Pendexter. The paper ON
"Maine Missions" was taken from the table and
discussed. The discussion was participated in
by Rev. Messrs Luce, Anderson, Staekpole, Ran
DAN and Bragdon. The discussion closed by the
adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved, That the disbursement of the funds Of
the domestic" missionary society of the Maine
conference by the managers OF said society should
be subject 10 the approval of the conference after
the same manner as is the case in the disburSe-
ment of the funds OF the Preachers AID Society.
The subject of the review OF Rev. Mr.. Simp-
sons book, "The Gospel of the Kingdom" was
resumed. Rev. Mr.. Luce replied to criticisms
against the book, and Rev. Mr.. Jones supported
the reviewers. The question was laid over until
the next meeting.
Chaplain McCabe was invited to address the
meeting and complied, speaking briefly. Hisre-
marks were confined principally to the answer Of
questions on the growth of Methodism. He said
The collections of the churches average 1913
per cent. better than they did last year, The
whole church seems to be rising. The Methodist
denomination in the United States Is building
churches in new places at the rate OF nearly four
churches every day, and have maintained that
ratio of increase for the past four years. The
whole Protestant church is building at the rate Of
ten churches day. The Roman Catholic church
has four millions of communicates but they are
outnumbered by the Methodists, who have 4, 1885,
600.
By request, Chaplain McCabe sang song Of
his own composition entitled Building Three a
Day."
The convention then adjourned.
